Chapter 4 - Four

"Neese!" Someone calls when I get off my car.

What was with people and calling me across hallways and streets?

I turn to see Danny, my coworker walk towards me. He is tall, muscular with a nice face, brown hair and a voice so soothing it literally calms you.

"Hey Danny, happy Monday." I smile

He leaned in to give me a kiss on my right cheek.

"How have you been ?" He asks

I sighed

A wreck

I have been a wreck

"I have been okay, where have you been hiding lately. You did not come for the reunion party?"

"Nothing really, just had some family issues to take care of."

We slowly walk to the my office as Danny tells me about how his sister got sick and got admitted and they had to think of covering the cost.

"How is she now?" I ask

"Much better, though they were thinking of conducting a surgery on her."

"Oh, I pray she makes it through all this." I walk to him and I give him a hug

"I pray she does get better, its just us two you know." He almost chuckles

"She will, have faith."

"Thank you, I will leave you to carry on with your clients. My clients are all in person today."

"See you around Danny and remember, am here for you, just let me know okay."

He gives me a quick peck on my left cheek and heads for the door.

My first client did not come in person but ad set an online appointment with me.

"Hello Mr. Phils".

"Hey, Neese, so glad to finally speak with you." He gives a quick smile. His face is a bit wrinkled and he seems to have had a rough weekend.

"So , tell me more about your food allergies Mr. Phils".
